Thank you for this. I’m 70 and have banged away on a guitar for 50 years now. I have parkinson’s disease so playing is not easy - but I continue to play because it is so good for my brain. This lesson will give me something to work on. I subscribed to your channel. Jim in Oregon
That’s awesome my friend. Keep going. We are blessed to be musicians. Thanks for sharing.
Keep playing Jim!
Keep playing Brother it defiantly should help with muscle memory of the brain.
Positive thoughts your way brother🤙.
same here, friend...........im 72
@@jmbalich Nice, my mom is 76 and she plays music every single day. Keep going everyone.
My ex guitarist who was a champion tried to drum this into my head about knowing all the triads so so so so true glad I saw this video xxx
Yes, just start adding a few here and ther over time and you will love it.Stoked to have you here and keep going. :)
Guitar is about piecing it all together. Endless instrument
Yes, we are all jellyfish floating around in the endless sea of guitar. Keep going.
Love the simplicity. I started playing 3 years ago and would spend hours trying to crack various “guitar codes.” Caged circle of fifths etc. It really just comes down to playing a lot and recognizing patterns lol
Thanks for the reply. Yes, you are so correct. When it boils down to it, it’s just you playing your guitar and creating your own pathways. We can all talk the same language like you mentioned, but it’s your creative musicality that will be what becomes your biggest asset.
Hope you stick around and lots more to come.
I never put together that that "C shape" triad was built right into the Barre Chord shape. That's really enlightening! Thank you!
I love hearing this. So many aha moments for us guitar players. Keep going one day at a time and lots more to come on all of this. Thanks for watching.
Nice little intro to triads, looking forward to checking out more of your vids.
Thanks for that. I kind of went triad crazy after that one. ha. I'm going to be dropping my very first music theory monday video tonight. Would love to know what you think of that one too. Keep going one day at a time. Stoked to have you here
I really like how musical this guitar lesson is. Of course, pretty much all guitar lessons are musical, this is the first lesson I've seen from Mr. Elmore, it is especially so. TY for the great lesson!
Thanks for the kind words. I will try to keep brining good ones. Keep going and stoked to have you here.
Smart exercise. Wrapping the thumb is great because it allows you to mute those strings you don't want to play. Thanks for the video!
Yes! Thanks you for the reply. Lots of little things to work on. Keep going. Lots more to come. 😎
nice ... good content, presented clearly and briefly. Many UA-cam creators would benefit from this approach. Thx
Thanks for that. Glad to help any way I can. Keep going one day at a time.
For this beginner, a lesson I could absorb even without the guitar at hand. Excellent. Thank you. Subscribed.
That's great to hear. Thanks for the sub. Lots more to come and keep going. Guitar is a journey, but you will get it. :)
This makes the scales and chords you’ve learned fall into place.
That’s awesome to hear. Keep connecting the dots one day at a time.
@@mrelmoresmusiclab absolutely. I have this guitar thing pretty much figured out but there’s always new things to learn and new ways of approaching the fretboard.
Very, very good lesson!
Awesome and thanks. Keep on rocking. :)
Larry is my dad. He told me about meeting you and mentioned the children's book you are working on. As a bass player and someone who loves 90's music we often aren't learning the same stuff but we do jam together on occasion. I like triads because I usually am able to improv a bass line over a song he already knows just by playing root 5th octave.
That’s amazing and your dad is so cool This video I did really fast in relation to what I did with your dad at my Mom’s house.
He gave me your information so I’ll text you and reach out for sure. Yes, the world needs great players. I’m working on a song with Bass Player from 311. Not sure if he’ll ever finish it because he’s always on tour. Ha ha.
I’ll text you later today and shoot me your email. I’ll send you a PDF copy of the book in the song. Was pitching it to Nickelodeon as a TV show before the pandemic. Then the whole world into disaster you know. Ha ha.
Talk to you soon😆
That's awesome that you are working with Peanut. 311 is one of my all time favorite bands. I'll be on the lookout for your text!
@@jhc82681 awesome. Yes 311 is great.
Wow! This is a great lesson. I’m trying to figure out triads and this is sooo helpful.
Thank you. Glad to help. Keep going. 1 day at a time.
Great video. I can confirm this will open up your guitar playing in a great way. For some of you who struggled to put your thumb over the top, especially if you have small hands, I recommend an EVH Wolfgang. It is a very small neck and easy to wrap your hands around.
Thanks so much for the kind words. Yes, just a little bit of knowledge everyday to help you get better. And...great tip for the over the neck. I know that Ernie Balls have small necks too.
@@mrelmoresmusiclabyes, and many G&L’s have that 1 5/8 nut width too. I have one with a medium C. The Wolfgang is a bit easier because it has less meat on it. I always wanted to try an ENMM though! Especially because they have the 1 5/8 nut that I prefer.
Very nice, yeah I had an EBMM Valentine but the neck was too small for my liking. I think you can find ways to get the thumb over and kind of adjust your technique if needed, but a lot of people will need a smaller neck indeed. It's great we have so many choices to fit our tastes. :)
@@mrelmoresmusiclabI definitely agree it’s possible with technique. For me, I have arthritis in my hands so a thin small neck is best for me. But honestly, if I play any neck too much, some part of my hand ends up hurting, even if it’s something that’s never hurt before lol. So I try to play o two guitars with different necks to keep my hands as pain-free as possible. I try to get as many miles as I can out of them.
The bar you speak of is a Am can be a triad if you don’t fully bar it . I took 3 strings off my guitar for a while . My bars are now triads.
You are correct. That's exactly what I was saying the triad lives right inside the bar. :)
Woke up saw this guy and subscribed 👍 nice.
Thank you. 🙏 stoked to have you and keep going.
I'd like to add, a C chord in the 8th fret, has a more or less CEG's than in the 3rd fret or 1st fret. So when it comes to making chords, you have to know what "flavor" you want, i.e., more C, or more E or more G's in the results. This little seasoning is part of what shows the difference between a seasoned pro and a beginner. The tilt of the pick ( or fingers ), and whether or not you play close to the bridge (sharp noise) vs close to the neck (mellow sound), is even more flavor. You could just cook a piece of meat in a pan, or you could toss it on the grill, add seasonings and such - and the difference is night and day. These are some of the methods that make beginners wonder why they don't sound like the pro's they listen to.
So funny you should mention this....yes...playing guitar is just like being cook or chef. I have a bunch a videos on triads and all of the triads have their own flavor or vibe. It's such a long and cummulative process. If you put in the time to learn you will always be growing as a musician. Thanks for sharing and I will be dropping a music theory series next Monday. Keep going!
beautiful lesson
Thank you. Keep going one day at a time.
This is awesome. Been playing 4 years and I don't know any of this stuff. I just subscribed. I checked out the bar chord breakdown, do you have any more of these, it really helps a lot. Cheers
So stoked to have you. Yes, this is where it's at. I have been hitting this triad thing pretty hard. I have a lot on the channel that goes over this. I will link a couple of good ones below.
Just know that I am in the process of reorganizing all of this into a really handy playlist. Check out the couple of vids below. I will be making more charts for all of these. Keep going and lots more to come. Thanks for watching. Guitar is going to get really fun for you. :)

I just instantly made the links between the triads and the full chord. Thank you soooo much
Heck Yeah! I loving hearing this. This is what is all about. Connecting the dots. Keep going and lots more to come. I love those aha moments.
Nice video, nice Guild! I have a F-44 from the mid-80s. I am working on comping myself in jazzy bluesy swingy songs, and trying to flesh out arrangements with partial chords that move from one chord to the next, or provide illustrative value, if that makes sense, such as a bass line worked into it. I'm having some issues with being able to do this with new songs I try to learn. I have a limited toolbox and am looking to expand it.
That's awesome. Guilds are amazing guitars and it sounds like you have a great plan moving forward. Stoked to have you here and one day at a time. :)
Grest stuff, the Guild sounds awsome. I have D55, the last series made at the Connecticut factory, no sound like it...scribed up...thanks my man
Man, that is so cool that so many people are talking about their Guilds. It almost seems like the Guild family is an underground movement. ha. Yeah, that guitar sings like no other.
I can't really even put my finger on it. It just sounds like a Guild and stilll can't believe my mom let me take it home. ha. I do have it at my Luthier and he is going to put a shim under the nut and just give it a minor setup. I have feeling I am going to play that guitar a ton. Your Guild sounds incredible. And...didn't Brian May of Queen pretty much rock a Guild electric most of his playing career? Keep going and let that Guild sing.
@@mrelmoresmusiclab will do, you to pal....ttys
For some reason once you started strumming between the C and A chords, the pattern reminded me of Peggy March’s hit “I will follow him” which Whoopi also reprised in the Sister Act movie. Strange huh?
That's cool. I need to check that out now. ha.
Love this lesson. I just tried downloading the Dropbox link but it says nothing is in the folder, could you let me know if you get a chance to re-upload it? I’d love to use the chart! Thank you!
Awesome and thanks for the kind words. Shoot! Let me check and I will get it in there when I get home later. Keep going one day at a time.
Okay, so I put the Am and C major chart in there and I put a G major chart as an extra. The triads are inside of the bar chords. You will totally get it. Let me know if that helps.
@@mrelmoresmusiclab dude you are amazing! Thank you so much. Seriously going to use these daily
Wow, thank you and thanks for the donation. That is so kind. I have a lot of videos on here and many of them have charts too, so grab what you need. Just remember guitar is hard and that it's a journey.
Stoked to have you here and I will keep the videos coming. Lots of great peeps on here. :)
Love that Guild! I bought a 2021 D-40, but keeping my eye out for one of the originals. Thanks for the lesson, you gained a new sub today!
Awesome and thanks so much.I'm still on cloud nine that my mom even gave it to me. haha. Guilds are so good. This one sings like no other. I miss it right now since it's at my luthier getting a look over. Lots more to come and stoked to have you here. Keep going. :)
Tomo Fujita also helped me realize this hut I didnt listen, or didnt practice consistently
Yes, Tomo is great. Keep learning those triads they will help you so much. Keep going.
Focused on playing EVERY DAY. i'll figure it out eventually 😂
Yeah, you got the right attitude for sure. Just a little bit of progress everyday and then you will be making real progress.
Thank you! This brought out some inspiration for me! This is a gem of knowledge 🎉
Fantastic! Just a chill lesson I did really quick before leaving my mom's house and heading back home. Tons more to come on this subject and lots more to come in general. Keep going one day at a time.
@@mrelmoresmusiclab i will be sure to share and thumbs up!
Thank you. Just remember guitar is a journey. You got this.
Great lesson for triad starters. Thank you so much!
My pleasure. Yeah, just keep connecting all of the different shapes on the different string sets over time and your playing will grow by leaps and bounds. I'm going to try and shoot a video tonight or tomorrow that will show you how to outline chord progressions using triad runs on the Low E and A string. Staye tuned for that, but those are super fun to mix in with chords and triad sets. Keep going. :)
@@mrelmoresmusiclab again, thank you! Great learning on this and I subscribed.
No worries and huge thanks for the sub. Lots more to come. Guitar is a journey. :)
You’re an amazing teacher. Thank you! 🖤✨
Thank you so much. I'm trying to figure out this YT thing. Keep going and connecting those musical dots.
@@mrelmoresmusiclab you’re killing it! Keep being a light! ✨🫶🏼🎶
I think of the triad as just a part of the big major chord. And I try to learn as big of chords as possible (like open c shape up and down the neck), just to break them up into little chords
That is a great way of thinking about it and thanks for sharing. I love how everyone has such a different approach to learning music. Keep going.
*Guild 4 The Win* 🏆 Love my Kasuga's and Guild guitars! Guild D40 cutaway is my main player. What model you play my friend? Cheers en thanks for the upload ❤
My mom just gave this to me. It's a 1975 D50 and it's beyond amazing. Still can't believe she let me take it home. :)
@@mrelmoresmusiclab Amazing gift ❤️ And the D50 is great,the *BIG BOY* 😁
@@SixStringRay Yes, Guilds are so good and so under rated . Keep on jamming.
@@mrelmoresmusiclab Facts! Thanks i will 💯
You 2 my friend! 🎸
Love the Guild and you gotta love your mom. Oh yea awesome lesson 👍 I’m a new follower 🤘🏻
Thanks so much. Yes, my mom is the best. I helped her get a new Taylor 314, so she let me take the Guild home.
I honestly have no idea why this video resonated so much with everyone out there. I made it on a whim since my flight got delayed. haha. I do love helping you all learn new stuff. I learn everyday too.
Super stoked to have you and I am going to make a video today on this very thing, but focus on the right hand fingerpicking technique. Lots of people requested it, so we shall see how it goes. Thanks for the support and keep going.
Thank you this will be helpful for me!
Awesome, just take it one small step at a time. So much to learn on the guitar, but do what you need to do to keep it fun.
Thanks for this. I'll get some good practice out of this
Awesome. Keep going.
Great vid I was thinkng about triads I just heard of them recently I studied music in a class in college, but I never been able to read music, even though I play several instruments, it's also tough cause I can't use my pinky when I play guitar my the middle two finger become non responsive when I use the guitar 😢 so I'm gonna have to use my first three fingers to do the triad oh well
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I think you are going to create your own style and vibes for sure. You are totally going to figure it out. I think Django Reinhardt messed up his hand in a fire and he was an amazing gypsy jazz guy. Tony Iommi cut parts of his fingers and rocked Black Sabbath. You are going to crush it. Keep going and thanks for watching. Lots more to come.
Slowly working through George Van Eps - Who HAMMERS this in, it's taking awhie, but I can feel it coming together.
It's crazy how aversive people are to even the most basic theory but really, just leave them behind
You make a great point. You do have to put in the work, but just do it a little bit at a time and connect the dots. I'm going to start a series of videos this Monday called "Music Theory Mondays" I will be using the circle of fifths as the main foundation. Would love to know your thoughts. You are doing it right. Keep going!
Thanks, will do!
Trey Anastasio is absolute master with the triads! Awesome video.
Yes, Trey rips and once you start getting them all over the neck in the different string sets your playing will really open up. Keep going. :)
You should name that beautiful ‘75 Guild “The Fly Swatter”…
Thanks for the lesson! That Guild sure looks and sounds great!
Thank you so much. Yes, I still can't believe my mom let me take it home. lol. It sings like a bell. Keep on playing and lots more to come.
Nice, I always pt out how similar Frusciante is to Hendrix on Rhythm style... Agree! Triads are great. Learning them all over the neck AND paying attention to which ones are Tension vs Blends is the way to go!
For sure. You can tell John is big disciple of Jimi. You just can't go wrong with triads all over the neck. They all have their own distinct flavor.
Excellent lesson.
Thank you so much. Going to try and keep giving lessons and just give small chunks that help you connect the dots overtime. Keep going one day at a time.
@mrelmoresmusiclab took lessons in Nashville so I can recognize the good instructors from the bad. This lesson can easily give a beginner a good start. If you pair an Aminor/Cmajor pentatonic lesson with the one above, it would be a Grand Slam.
That's awesome! And it's funny you should mention Am and C, because I did that exact thing after I got home from my mom's house. haha. In my head I am always thinking about how to teach people how to connect the dots in the long-term. I have been getting quite a few requests to do some videos on the Nashville numbering system.
I always try to give a bit of theory here and there. I'm going to start a video series that I put out every Monday called "Music Theory Mondays" I will use the circle of fifths/chord wheel as the foundation for it all. Should be fun.
Thanks for the kind words and hope you will stick around. I think I am staring to figure out this YT thing. ha
Hendrix played the bass note with his thumb. this gave him an extra finger to play the licks but still having the bass root. John Frusciante mastered the technique as well. It will really stand out in Little Wing and Under the Bridge by RHCP. helps to have a long thumb
Nile Rogers from the band Chic and also the guy playing Lets Dance rhythm by Bowie. His main sound is playing those three middle sings . its funky'
Very true. Just a great technique for muting overall as well.
Yeah, hard to think of a more masterful rhythm player than Nile. That's as good as it gets.
This is why theory needs to be taught to guitar players
You are a hundred percent correct. The more knowledge you have the better. I am going to try my best to teach some solid theory lessons moving forward too. :)
I think you mean “this is why guitar players need to learn theory”.
Previous comment was for Olympics in Paris! Thanks for this buddy. Like this lesson and talk on triads brother., Peace and Love Y'all
lol. No worries. Glad to help in any way I can. Keep playing and enjoy the games. :)
Thank you for sharing your perspective! I am earlier in my journey, but your words mirror my experience in many ways. Attending a festival on The Land contributed to me coming out as nonbinary. I also read Stone Butch Blues after years of being too afraid to pick it up…
It has been disheartening that the most hostile pushback I have experienced around my nonbinary identity has come from other butches and the lesbian community.
Your words will help so many people! I hope I can offer the same thing in my own way❤
So sorry to hear bout that. Music will be a gift for life that will always be there for you. Keep going :)
You definitely get some interesting comments dude! Great video! I’m 60 & just trying to figure out triads & not doing full bar chords. This is extremely simple…in fact it’s so simple I might even “get it”! Thank you & I’m a new subscriber. Love that guitar too!
Thank you so much. Yes, you get a lot of funny stuff when you open yourself up to the world of UA-cam. I’m gonna start rebuilding all these triad videos moving forward so super stoked to have you here. These are definitely things you can do in every day music.
And… My mom gave me that 75 guild about a week ago. Beyond lucky I have it at my house now. Ha ha.
@@mrelmoresmusiclab Good for you!!! I’m working like I did in the early 80’s but I will be watching your channel & put some more time in. Thank you!!!
@@williamdevlin366 Awesome. Thank you. One day at a time. Little progress each day. Keep going.

I live in pell city al near logan Martin. Been playing and occasionally leading at my church at Victory pell city & Victory Lincoln. ❤
This was extremely helpful my friend 👊
Awesome, super stoked to help. Didn't even plan on making this video. Just went out on my mom's porch and free styled some ideas. That's awesome you are playing at your chuch. Lots more to come and keep going. Stoked to have you here.
Thank you for a briliant little lesson.
My pleasure, lots more to come and please keep going.
Great lesson. 👋
Thanks. Keep going 1 day at a time.
Cool video, I"ve been trying to track triads on the neck, this is a great musical way to practice them! I was guessing that was a D-40, so close
Thank you and yes, such a great way to practice them. And...great guess. Guilds are such great guitars. Keep going!
Freaking amazing
Thank you.
I love Guilds. Such a smooth feel. Kudos, and great lesson
Thank you. Yes, I'm beyond lucky my mom gave me her guitar. This guitar is beyond amazing. You can just feel the mojo when you play. Lots more to come and stoked to have you here. Keep going.
Guild = Amazing 👑
Pretty genius pattern and variation. Nice fills too. Hendrix? WAY above my paygrade.
Thanks my friend. Yeah, just take it really slow. Here is the same idea with a more in depth fingerstyle approach. Let me know what you think. :) ua-cam.com/video/WwSxMbYk-iY/v-deo.html

Looking forward to watching more of these. Very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you. I am trying to figure out this YT thing. I will do my best. keep going :)
Went through that kinda fast for us old folks
I’ll make another one shortly that breaks it down even a little slower and more in depth. Would that be helpful?. Keep going.
Great video! Very helpful. Thank you!
My pleasure. Keep going and lots more to come.
I'm missing the top portion of my fretting hand thumb from a work accident, so I can't really do the thumb wrap around trick, I rely on palm mutting more for that. Same effect. It can be done. Just had to adapt. Tony iommi played without chunks of his fingers too
Love it! I was showing this to my mom and she was telling me how her hands were to small. I told her she would come up with her own style for playing. Iommi is was one of the greatest to ever do it. And, I think Jerry Garcia had some kind of accident to his hands. Nothing will stop us. Keep going
@@mrelmoresmusiclab look up a guy named yana mulyana covering yngwie and prepare to be amazed. If he can play like that with his ailments, then there is literally zero excuse for anyone who has hands
I will for sure check that out. People always amaze me. Thanks for sharing.
Good video. Loved you in Fight Club
haha. Thanks my friend. Heard that one before. I need to watch that movie again. Keep going.

@@mrelmoresmusiclab Nice! Maybe this same lesson and show how to do fills etc. for us rookies 🙏
Great idea...this one help you...and I have one coming tomorrow morning that will show you how to use triads to create bass lines. Stay tuned for that, but I think you can get some good nuggets from this. :) ua-cam.com/video/Znxt4GIRf1U/v-deo.html
I'm in north Alabama and the humidity is no joke!
You are not kidding. I did live in Tampa for 10 years, so I totally get it. Stay cool my friend .
Guitar sounded good to me!
Thank you. Still can't believe my mom let me take it home. ha. Never know how things will sound on the iPad. Keep going one day at a time.
This is a great lesson, and I couldn’t agree more. The earlier someone gets introduced to triads, the earlier the fretboard opens up, and the more a player’s musical vocabulary grows.
This is also a GREAT rhythm lesson, and it doesn’t matter how great a lead guitar player someone is: Great rhythm players get the gigs.
Yes, you are totally on track and couldn't agree more with what you said. Rhythm is the foundation for everything we do. We just get wowed by all the lead playing when we are younger. Look at Keith Richards, he is a master at rhythm. Keep going.
Great vid. Yes guitar is a journey. So true. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for that. Yes, one day at a time.
This is great advice!
Thanks for watching.
Subscribed I need to learn lots of triads😊
You are so nice. Thanks for that. I have so much more coming on triads. I have a whole bunch on here already, but I think I am getting a better idea how to deliver this. Keep going and thanks again for the sub. :)
great!
Why thank you. Just take it one day at a time. That's all we can do. Keep going.
I don't know if this makes sense. But my abilities are beyond my knowledge of the guitar.I can do chords.I know some chords. I know what arpeggio is ...I'm just several hrs and many reps away... finally past the.. "omg, why does this have to be so difficult AND painful" part. 😂 i understand it, but gettin my hands to do what my head knows...different story
I hear you. Just remember guitar is like a thousand tiny things going on at once and it takes time to make them sync up. Just be patient with the process and most of all patient with yourself.
🤔what did we learn here?? What’s the application?
So...this would be going from the bar chord to the triad set on the DGB strings. See if you can do it and create a really solid rhythm without stopping. Stuff like this will turn you into a killer rhythm player. Also, you want to learn your triads all over the neck, so that you never feel limited in your chord selection. Does that kind of make sense?
Im from Sylacauga, Al. Is that close to your moms house? Great lesson.
Thanks, my friend. Super glad I can help out anyway. This was actually my first trip to her place. She’s in Daphne. I’m sure I’ll be going back more often and getting more familiar.
you da man ! thanks from Australia
Thanks mate. I have to go to Australia. Love so many bands from there and I need to surf some of that beautiful coastline. Gotta watch out for the Whiteys in the water. Keep going and hope you stick around here.

Thank you. I will keep going that way for sure. Yes, have heard of North Stradbroke Island. Man, I wish I could which surfers lived there. I used to watch WSL all the time before it got kind of lame.
Used to see Josh Kerr and his daughter at the skate park a lot when I lived in SD. Super cool guy. Lots more come and stoked to have you here. KISS is the way, even for me. ha.
Oh yeah! Gonna start doing this! Thanks!
That’s awesome and thanks for watching. Lots more to come and I’m going to build out the triad thing. Super in-depth. I promise you if you just start learning triads in every position, there will be nothing. You can’t play. Plus, you’ll have a blast keep going.
You’re good!
Thanks my friend. In the end, I think we are all just trying to be better versions of ourselves. Keep going
Great!v loving the triad lessons
Thank you. Keep going.
What are we supposed to get out of this lesson?
At the very least you should start recognizing the triad shapes in the C and Am chords I played in the video. I even have chord charts I made linked in the description.
good quality video, thanks for the information
No problem my friend. Just wanted to try one lo-fi style on the iPad. Keep going.
Great tutorial video. Wish I could say the same about your brickwork behind you. Hope you didn’t pay them. 😮
Thanks, that's my mom's house. Sorry mom. lol.
Do these triad shapes work on all major/minor chords?
Yep, they do 100 percent. I have a lot of videos on this very thing, but I'm going to start really building it out even further. Once you start getting these under command you won't be stopped.
Check this out and you will see that you can move these shapes anywhere to any key. In this video I show you specifically where the 1,3,5 notes are. Oh, and these are on the GBE strings. Let me know how it goes. ua-cam.com/video/YTs4HIKqPpg/v-deo.html
And just for fun....here is one I made just yesterday showing how the right han technique works. Super fun to try. Keep going. ua-cam.com/video/WwSxMbYk-iY/v-deo.html
I've been told today triad are for jazz is this true ?
Triads are really for everything we do in music. I like to think of them as the bones of music. Triads are useful for every single style of music you can think of. Jazz uses much more sophisticated chords, but they are all built on the triads first.
For example...a C triad is CEG...the 135 of the C major scale. If you want to make a C sound "jazzier" you still keep the triad...you now will add the 7th or B. That will now make it a major 7 chord. CEGB.
I know this is a lot, but just do your best to learn as many triad shapes as you can and the rest will be easy. I'm going to double down and start making a lot of new videos on triads, so keep coming back. Keep going.
That’s a nice guitar. 👍🏼
Thanks, my friend. My mom gifted it to me and I’m taking it home as we speak.
Groovy:-)
Thanks, my friend, but not as groovy as you are. Keep going.
When he’s using his thumb on the C chord, he’s playing a C sharp (9th fret) instead of a C (8 fret). Am I missing something ?
I had to go back and watch this to see what the heck I did. So yeah, I am wrapping my thumb over on what would be the C Sharp on the low E but I’m not playing that note at all. Literally just muting it out for a percussive style. Does that make sense?
Yeah it does. You’re not the only guitarist I’ve seen doing that but now I know how it works. I’m a guitar player too but I don’t have the thumb reach. Thanks.
You will get it over time. My thumb kind of just lands where it does, but I use it for muting 99% of the time.
yes you are missing something. He is just using it to anchor his hand, not play the note.
@@3pendont4 Exactly what I am doing. :)
Sweet! your home. in Alabama.
Skynyrd would be proud. ha. That guitar is now safely in Idaho. Woohoo. Thanks for watching and keep going!
I have the same Ray Bans
Man, that Alabama sun and heat were scorching. Had to wear the shades. haha
